I don't know about the US$100mn cutoff, only because it's certainly possible, in the US, to have a successful entrepreneurial tech company worth far less than that ("successful" = in operation for several years, with revenues greater than expenditures and prospect for future growth/stability).<BR/><BR/>So I guess there's another couple of criteria for success that I'd add:<BR/><BR/>a) "Revenue-positive cash flow", as the MBAs like to say<BR/><BR/>b) Been around for a few years (say, 5-10)<BR/><BR/>Voila -- comments!<BR/><BR/>Yours,<BR/>twickerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
